Argh. I'm doing a lousy job of trying to explain. Okay, I didn't write this, but it sums her up for me: Wild black mother, how can I not love you? Your dancing hair. Your dancing feet. Your dancing eyes.
Wild black mother how can I not fear you? Your savage mouth. Your savage throat. Your savage hands.
Wild black mother, how can I not run to you?
Do I personally fear her? No. Do I think that she is 'safe'? Hells no! Kali is fierce, loving, wild, and a powerful force to be reckoned with. I would not call on her lightly, but I would not call on her with fear in my heart, either.
